Matches the Piano/Vocal Score from the show.
I play wind synth/keyboards in the orchestra pit for a local community theater group. We're doing "The Sound Of Music" in January. This book is an exact transcription of the Piano/Vocal score from the show. It has orchestral cues, actor cues, and voiceover dialogue. The songs are in the same keys as the Libretto book. All the instrumental, scene change, and incidental music is there as well. It's complete from Preludium, through the Entr'acte to the Bows/Exit music. This is not the Julie Andrews movie score. This is professional show music. It may be a bit intimidating for musicians not familiar with the high level of detail that goes into the piano reduction of a show score. I'd recommend it for anyone planning to play SOM. I like that I can mark up this score without having to return the book at the end of the run. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
